Busch Gardens Tampa, Tampa, Florida

One part of Pantopia that I hadn't noticed before was how Busch Gardens themed the roof of the Caravan Carousel to look like the sort of tent one would see pitched next to a caravan somewhere in the Sahara.  Little thematic touches like that add to the experience and make me happy.

The first part of our plan was to bolt next door for a Busch Gardens Tampa Bay must...the Scorpion.

Scorpion is such a fun classic.  This is one of those coasters where every single ride is a memorable experience.
